Title: Rate responsive cardiac pacemaker for discriminating stair climbing from other activities
Inventor: SHELDON TODD J
IPC: A61N1/365
Filed: 1996-02-20
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for pacing a patient's heart at a pacing rate dependent on patient activity and posture particularly during stair climbing. A dual chamber, rate responsive pacemaker for pacing a patient's heart includes at least one DC accelerometer mounted in the pacemaker pulse generator for implantation such that the sensitive axis of the DC accelerometer is sensitive to the effects of gravity during forward lean of the patient characteristic of stair climbing posture. The DC and AC signal outputs of the accelerometer are processed to develop a tilt signal and an activity signal. A target rate control signal is derived from the activity signal dependent on the level of activity. A stair climbing rate is selected for controlling the physiologic pacing rate between a lower and an upper pacing rate in the presence of an activity signal indicative of a patient walking rate and a tilt signal value falling within a tilt window. The target rate control signal is used to control the pacing rate if the activity signal is indicative of faster patient movement, e.g. running, or if the tilt signal is outside the tilt window indicating that the patient is either upright or prone.

Title: High capacity communications satellite
Inventor: GLYNN THOMAS W
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1995-05-12
Abstract: A high capacity communication satellite uses a large number of parallel beams and optical processing to effect a fully interactive, high bandwidth, high channel capacity fully switched communication system. The satellite reuses its assigned bandwidth in each of the multiple beams. The beams are formed by either RF or optical means. The specific users in each beam are then separated optically using spatial light modulation (SLM) array correlation techniques. A  single large SLM, or multiple smaller SLMs in combination, may be used. The individual customers are then repositioned in the array by optical SLM mixing and recorrelation. The result is then remodulated by another SLM array used as a mixer, and then recombined to reform the appropriate outgoing beams. The entire system then becomes a fully switched, high bandwidth, high channel capacity communications network on a single satellite.

Title: Recording device using continuous paper and method of feeding continuous paper
Inventor: MIYAKE HIROMASA
IPC: B65H35/00
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: A recording device operable with continuous paper in the form of a roll of the present invention includes a pair of drive rollers for selectively rotating the roll in the forward direction for paying out the paper or in the reverse direction.  A controller causes the drive rollers to rotate in the reverse direction in response to a preselected signal.          Bar codes representative of serial numbers are printed on one side edge of the paper.  While the roll is rotated in the reverse direction, a number identification circuit reads the bar codes 41 and detects the leading edge of the paper on the basis of one bar code positioned at the leading edge and another bar code adjoining a roll position which the leading edge  overlies.   When  the  number  identification  circuit detects  the  leading  edge,  the  controller  switches  the direction of rotation of the roll from reverse to forward.          Subsequently, a separator is brought into contact with the periphery of the roll in order to separate the paper from the roll and pays out the paper in accordance with the forward rotation.

Title: Method for determining formation density and formation photo-electric factor with a multi-detector-gamma-ray tool
Inventor: DASGUPTA URMI
IPC: G01V5/12
Filed: 1998-03-02
Abstract: This invention is an advanced method for determining formation density in an array-detector density tool. The use of three or more detectors yields an improved accuracy and precision of the formation density measurement even in the presence of a large standoff between the tool and the formation. A more accurate photoelectric factor is determined through a new single detector algorithm. Use of the information on the photoelectric effect and the density from the three detectors allows the measurement of a photoelectric effect compensated for stand off and the photoelectric factor of the mudcake. The use of the multi-detector density answers allows for a consistency check and therefore a much improved quality control of the density measurement.
